SAFETY PRECAUTIONS ENGLISH Congratulations upon your selection of this MEMOREX Product. Be sure to read the following Safety Precautions before trying to use it for the first time. MOISTURE CONDENSATION DO NOT OPERATE THIS VCP FOR AT LEAST TWO OR THREE HOURS WHEN MOISTURE IN THE AIR CONDENSES ON THE VCP. WHAT IS MOISTURE CONDENSATION? When a cold liquid is poured into a glass, for example, water vapor in the air will condense on the surface of the glass. This is called moisture condensation.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (CONTINUED) INSTALL THE VCP IN YOUR CAR • For a car equipped with air bags, be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions whenever performing any electrical wiring work. Incorrect wiring can cause the air bag system of a car to malfunction. • Never cut the insulation from the power supply lead in an attempt to draw power for another device. Doing so can overload the current capacity of the lead, creating the danger of fire and electric shock.
• Make sure all cables are bundled together so they do not interfere with car operation, as described in this manual. Improperly installed cables create the danger of entanglement with the steering wheel, shift lever, brake pedal, etc. IMPORTANT NOTES: • The unit is designed for use with a 12V DC automotive power supply. Never use it in a truck, bus, or any other car that has a 24V power supply. • Be sure to stop your car in a safe area before watching or adjusting the VCP.
